They came in the mail 2 days before I expected! Keep in mind they are RUBBER and hollow PLASTIC and are not meant to strike things with, but to practice swinging em around so you don't hit yourself. If you're anything like me though, you smacked something and your chuck is broken. No problem! Wrap those suckers up with duct tape and wa-lah! The extra weight is nice aswell  Permalink

These chucks worked really well, were balanced, and were a great help in learning some new things, but the actual nuncuck broke(not at the chain) right in half after only three days…  Permalink

I'm a beginner and this is pretty great. I hit myself a ton already and it doesn't hurt. :) The only gripe I have with it is that the chain is way too long. I'm an adult (21 years old) but I am 5 feet tall, and it would be best if I could remove 2 of the links.   Permalink

highly recommended than the younger 8in v rubber
which I started with, which are great too
but these nuchucks are nice, great weight, length, and being a young person the length of chain is great. (would've been best if u removed 1 or 2).
good for practice not for hitting though.  Permalink

These are pretty awesome, heres why:
1.) Got to my house two days before it was expected
2.) The plastic is not ultra-cheap toy sword-type plastic. Top-notch plastic (+2 stars)
3.) The first thing I did with these was eagerly tear off the top of the package, and swing them around. When I hit myself on the very first swing, it didn't hurt much! (+1)
4.) Its witheld MANY impacts with concrete and trees and the sort. And its not damaged, not even the rubber.(3+)  Permalink

I have studied martial arts for less than 2 years and have developed an interest in weapons so I decided to buy a couple of things. I have never even held a pair of chucks until my order arrived. I think for my level I would have been better off getting the corded chuks as the ball bearing seems fast and maybe a little more difficult to control for my novice level, but I will get some instruction in class and I am sure these will do fine. These things are very soft with the padding and therefore risk of injury should be nil.   Permalink

My son is wanting to learn the Nunchucks as part of his weapons training. I got these for him to use around the house. The rubber does tend to slide down the shaft but so far they are holding up to 8 and 7 year old boys.  Permalink

I purchased these foam nunchaku's a couple of months ago and they are great. Practicing with wooden nunchaku's can be dangerous when you're first learning or practicing with an opponent. You're much better of using this. I have another pair very similar to the ones that I bought from Karate Depot and they are heavier. I prefer the ones from Karate Depot...  Permalink

Great nunchucks, though I do prefer metal and pine ones, these are perfect for dojo training as nobody gets hurt! I myself have accidentally knocked my sensi unconscious before, using pine, but this makes it a lot easier!  Permalink

These were my first nunchaku aside from the cheap, plastic, wal-mart ones I got when I was younger (I'm still young, 14). I have practiced daily with these for over a year. I'm just kind of self teaching myself. Picking up whatever I can from books or other such things. I would probably still be in the hospital from the day I got them if they were wood...I hit myself so much with them. Now I'm really good and have no broken bones. I've never used corded so I have no problem with the ball-bearing, they are kind of squeaky but some WD-40 should fix that right up. I put clear packaging tape over the dragon symbol so I can still see the image clearly and it has very little wear. Some of the foam has ''cracked'' after hitting it on my dad's low ceiling during a practice session. Other than that...no damage. I like to practice on a mattress leaned up against a wall.  Permalink

I had never used weapons before and believe it or not I hit my head a lot, luckily these are very safe and I didn't knock my brains out. The only down fall is the dragon insignia wore off after a while of use. Will hold together well if not pounded against a bed post. The pen cap things did fall out though.  Permalink

I loved everything about this, except the chain is way too short for me, being a 6'5'' male.  Permalink

it's an awesome product, very lightweight and fast. You can learn any new techniques without any bruises. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because they wear out pretty fast, and the foam tends to come off with repeated use. Everyone should have a pair of these on-hand, beginners and experts alike.  Permalink

I am fairly experienced with the nunchaku and was thrilled when i finally recieved this. I had planned to use this to spar with my friend but just after 2 days of use, it had broken apart. I had lightly used it to practice my attacks on my wooden bed frame and i guess the plastic tube inside the foam wasnt too durable after all.  Permalink

Very good for begginers, excellent durabillity, excellent speed, and you dont get hurt while using them!!!



I gave it four stars because they tend to bounce and my dragon logo disappeared after a month of use.  Permalink

I bought one ball bearing rubber nunchuck and it works great for practicing how to fight with real nunchucks. The rubber foam stuff stays on really well. They makes a great present for any martial artist at almost any age. I highly recommend them.  Permalink

These are very nice for practicing new movies or if you are a beginner. If I had a pair of these ages ago I wouldn't have hurt my self so much. My only complaint is the light weight. Aside from that they are great.  Permalink

Very speedy, light, and silent in movement. The ultimate in practice nunchuks. They are very durable. I've hit them around a lot and they are in prime condition. The only thing that wears away is the dragon logo. Keep practicing with them, and they will be mastered in no time. I give it a 4 star rating because the foam slides off occasionally (with repetitive use).  Permalink

These nunchaku are not loud at all. They are weightless and a perfect addition to my martial arts arsenal.  Permalink

Good weight and balance, makes for some very fast movements. The swivel is very nice and right up along side the wooden nunchaku swivel in quality. I prefer these to the cord variant, these have a better weight and a slightly larger pvc tube in the middle, which I have found less brittle. These have a good good lifespan, and will last a long while unless you start striking other objects with them, which they are not designed for and therefore have a tendency to break on you. overall.. great value.  Permalink
